CARDIFF - Sun June 17th 2012

On 15th there were 2 arrivals - Kossau came in from Londonderry with a cargo of scrap metals for Ryans Wharf.  She sailed on 18th, bound for Newport where she will be loading  scrap metal!.  Container ship Charlotte Borchard came in on her regular service from Leixoes - she sailed for Liverpool on 16th.
The port of Cardiff looked a hive of activity on the 15th, with the 2 ships above, plus 2 sand dredgers Arco Dart and Welsh Piper, the bulker Resko  2 coasters Aquarius and Zeeland and 2 tugs.
Today the tanker Bro Distributor was back again from Milford Haven with another load of oil products for the Chevron Terminal.

She had arrived from Sauda (Norway) and is seen discharging some sort of aggregate at the pontoon wharf.  She wasn't in dock for long - sailed on the next tide, bound for Steenbank (pilot station off Schelde River, Netherlands)
